WITH A BRUSH OR ROLLER

1. If possible apply the first coat on all sides of the decking boards before installation
2. Use an Osmo 150mm Decking Brush to apply the Decking Oil thinly and evenly, along the wood grain
3. Allow 10 to 12 hours drying time, then apply a thin second coat as above

Please Note: Dried surface is satin-glossy at first and afterwards is satin.

Tip: The type and age of timber can have a dramatic impact on how much Decking-Oil you need.

As an example, softwood decking that is old will likely require more oil than a relatively new hardwood decking that still retains a fair amount of natural oil.

To test how much oil your decking needs, apply one thin coat, allow to dry, then apply a droplet of oil in a corner. If the droplet of oil soaks into the wood then a further coat can be applied. Repeat this process until the droplet of oil sits as a bead on the surface of the wood and no longer soaks in to the timber. This is an indication that the timber has absorbed as much oil as possible and doesn’t require any more.
